USS Odyssey

[Jeffala]

Odyssey, Enterprise, Defiant, Daedalus, and almost every other ship name in Stargate, Star Trek, or most other series or movies are too generic to be copyrighted or trademarked.

If I created a ship with a name that was completely unique then it could be trademarked or copyrighted. Even a name that was sufficiently little-known could maybe get a trademark or copyright.

As it stands though, most of the names chosen have been in circulation for hundreds if not thousands of years.

OK, thank you everyone for your help. I've settled on the Battleship Daedalus.

3. NASA infringed on Paramount for naming the first Space Shuttle "Enterprise".

They names it after the USS.Enterprise in Star Trek. They had the crew of Star Trek Enterprise and the majority of the crew of the various shows there for it

OK, thank you everyone for your help. I've settled on the Battleship Daedalus.

It's a Deep Space Carrier (DSC) Or like the 303 a Battlecruiser (BC)

[stargate_tech]

Are those the designations? Like F-302, F=Fighter? If so, is there a designation for Battleships?

[LT.Adams]

There was also a USS Prometheus in Star Trek Voyager.

[Rudy Pena]

Didn't Mitchell say that as well?

Yes, In ST:AoT

Daedalus is USS Daedalus and its a "DSC-304" type ship. I could have sworn that Apollo had a different prefix (Something-304) but I can't find any source on it.

Isn't Daedalus USAF Deadalus, as it says USAF on the side. Or can it be both?

I could have sworn that the bridge plaque on in "The Daedalus Variations" said USS.

[jenks]

It does.

[Jeffala]

It does.

Okay, now that we've confirmed that I'm not delusional, let's continue:

USAF is a designator of the owner of the ship. For instance, the original 1701 Enterprise bore the words "United Federation of Planets". USAF isn't a part of the name of the ship.

[jenks]

In Stargate it is not "USS Odyssey" it's "USAF Odyssey". There shouldn't be any kind of copyright infringment as they are also two different kind of ships, and whats in a name?!

USS Odyssey:
NCC-71832
Galaxy Class Federation Starship

USAF Odyssey:
PB3865
Daedalus Class Battlecrusier / Deep Space Carrier / 304

Yes it is.

[grif]

in the movie 2001 the ship was called the odyssey so in my book 2001 had first dibs

[pilot_f302]

Yes it is.

Indeed. I have proof, scene from "Off the Grid".
And is playing a PSP...

[Opener]

Look, why does it really matter? The ship is cool and it kicks ass. What more do you want?
